Chapter 109 Marriage 1
Looking at Xia Mengning standing there in a white dress with a water-red gold edge, it was really elegant. Changsun Han looked at everyone's expressions and said with a smile, "Looking at the expressions of the Qing family, I know that Miss Xia's dancing skills are not bad. It seems that today's birthday banquet is really more than a surprise. I can't even reward you."
With that, he raised his head and said to the eldest grandson Yun, who was sitting below, "Yun'er, what do you think of Miss Xia's dance just now?"
Everyone was surprised why the emperor suddenly turned the topic to Changsun Yun. In addition, it was rumored that the prince had a close relationship with the third lady of the Xia family. At this time, everyone stretched out their ears and listened carefully to Changsun Yun's reply.
Changsun Yun smiled and shook the glass wine bottle in his hand and said, "My nephew, like Uncle Huang, loves Miss Xia's dance very much. Miss Xia just danced, worthy of the country."
Yu Ziran looked at Changsun Yun's eyes towards Xia Mengning. His hands under the wide sleeves were tightly grasped, and his nails were deeply embedded in the flesh.
After Changsun Yun said this, everyone understood a lot in their hearts. Changsun Han smiled and said, "Then I will make the decision today. How about marrying Miss Xia to you? It happens that you also lack a concubine."
Everyone was very surprised. Unexpectedly, the emperor gave the marriage so casually. The eldest grandson stopped the haze on his face and looked at the eldest grandson Han and said, "Your Majesty, according to my brother..."
"Oh?" Changsun Han made a statement to stop Changsunzhi and looked at Changsun Yun on the side, "Don't worry, you still need to ask them about the child."
Changsun couldn't stop talking, so he could only stare at Changsun Yun with warning eyes, hoping that he could refuse.
Changsun Yun nodded with a smile, "Thank you, uncle. If you can marry such a beautiful woman, it will be a great blessing in life."
Changsun Han laughed a few times, turned his head to Wu and said, "Mother, what do you think?"
Wu's original impression of Xia Mengning was not very good, but it changed in today's time. This woman was not only beautiful, but also calm, generous, and careful. No wonder her grandson liked her so much. Wu thought of this and nodded her head and said, "Look, this dear. It's really great, but I don't know if Ning'er will agree?
With that, he asked Xia Mengning, who was standing below, "Ninger, what do you mean?"
Xia Mengning was asked what she said and hurriedly said, "The words of the Empress Dowager, since ancient times, marriage and major affairs have been the orders of parents. The words of the matchmaker, the little girl, dare not talk about it casually."
Wu nodded. In fact, her words were setting a trap for Xia Mengning. She just wanted to see if Xia Mengning's mind was a woman who was eager for quick success and fortune. Now listening to Xia Mengning's words, the last uncertainty in her heart was also dispelled. She smiled and said, "Sang Xia Cheng, you'd better make the decision."
Xia Chuanyuan hurriedly stood up and arched his hand and said, "I thank you, the empress dowager, for the little daughter."
Changsun Yun also stood up and walked to the center of the hall and stood beside Xia Mengning. "Thank you for your marriage."
Wu looked at Changsun Yun standing beside Xia Mengning. Both of them are dragons and phoenixes among people, which can be called rare golden boys and jade girls. Wu, who likes this grandson, is particularly happy and said, "In this case, to be your concubine, this identity should also be raised. In this way, Yi Ai's family will carry Ning'er's biological mother. Let's have a wife."
With that, he nodded to Changsun Han and Changsun Han, "Xia Aiqing, what's your meaning?"
Xia Chuanyuan arched his hands repeatedly, "Everything is up to the emperor and the empress dowager."
Everyone is full of envy. This Miss Xia San is not only personally married by the empress dowager, but also helps her biological mother lift her identity. It is really not to be underestimated.
Xia Mengning knelt down to thank her. Wu said, "Come on, give me a seat." With that, he waved to Xia Mengning, "Ninger, sit here."
The supreme favor! Everyone looked at Xia Mengning standing in the middle of the hall with an envious face, and some people also looked at Xia Chuanyuan sitting aside.
Yu Ziran almost fainted. Why, even the empress dowager favored Xia Mengning's side? Why? Everyone chose to help Xia Mengning. She looked at the people around her looking at Xia Mengning's pursuit, and what fell on her was full of sympathy and mocking.
"Sister Ziran, don't be sad." The eldest grandson Xinyue beside her comforted her.
Yu Ziran's fingernails were deeply embedded in the palms of his hands. He turned his head and looked at Changsun Xinyue. Even the princess who had been helping him began to favor Xia Mengning?
Yu Ziran gritted his teeth, no, absolutely not!
Changsun Xinyue originally wanted to come forward to help Yu Ziran say a few words, but her eyes were all on the man she met today. If she said something to help Ziran's sister, I'm afraid it would make him unhappy. No matter how bad Xia Mengning is, she is also his sister. She'd better not talk to her, so as not to affect her. His impression of himself.
Now seeing Yu Ziran's unhappy face, Changsun Xinyue stopped talking. It is his right for the younger brother to like anyone in this world. There is no need to like her.
Changsun Xinyue thought so, so he also turned around as if he couldn't see Yu Ziran's unhappy.
Changsun Han looked happy and said to Xia Chuanyuan on one side, "Xia Qing's family, your daughter is not too late yet, is she?"
Xia Chuanyuan immediately replied, "If you go back to the emperor, it's exactly the thirteenth this year."
Changsun Han laughed a few times: "Well, then wait until you get married to the royal palace immediately."
In this way, the marriage contract between the two was final. Xia Mengning sat next to the empress dowager, and everyone began to continue the luncheon.
Yu Ziran looked at Xia Mengning sitting next to the Empress Dowager, with a look of stars holding the moon. He felt uncomfortable in his heart. He looked at Changsun Yun and Xia Mengning again. He couldn't help but darken and quietly got up and walked out.
When he came out of the hall to breathe, Yu Ziran saw several little maids of honor walking out with things. Yu Ziran looked at the backs of several maids, and his eyes were dark. He remembered that his mother's situation had not improved yet. If he was no longer spoiled, the fate of their mother and daughter would be even worse.
No, I have to marry in the world's mansion. No matter what method I use, I have to prevent Xia Mengning from marrying the world's son.
Thinking of this, Yu Ziran clenched the palm of his hand, lifted the skirt and followed several little maids to the imperial dining room.
There was only one little maid of honor in the imperial dining room. Everyone else went to serve the dishes. Yu Ziran looked at it and quietly hid behind the pillar. She saw the little maid walking away with the plate, and then slowly came out.
When I entered the palace, my mother once gave me several self-defense powders, one was the ** used for Changsun Yun last time, and the other was the poison to seal the throat.
Yu Ziran's mother is from the Western Regions. People in the Western Regions are good at making all kinds of drugs. Yu Ziran's mother knows that her daughter will encounter a lot of trouble when she enters the palace, so she is given two kinds of powders to prepare for emergencies.
Yu Ziran usually hides these drugs in his nails. Only when he wants to use them can he use them unconsciously.
Seeing the little maid go out, Yu Ziran slowly came out from behind the pillar, looked at the wine glass on the table, turned his eyes, and his bare hands bounced on one of the bowls.
Back to the hall, the banquet had been going on until the afternoon. Seeing that it was getting dark, Yu Ziran slowly returned to his seat.
There is a little maid of honor who brought the wine to be used at the end of the banquet. This kind of wine is a white sake that can only be drunk by the royal family in the north. However, it must be taken out to entertain guests at all banquets.
Yu Ziran looked at the wine glass on the little maid's handle, and then put it down with a worried heart. He smiled and said, "Miss Xia has won such a great honor today. It's right to pay a toast to the Empress Dowager."
Xia Mengning looked at Yu Ziran's smile, keenly caught a trace of breath from the wine glass, smiled faintly, picked up the wine glass in the little maid's hand and handed it to the Empress Dowager, and then picked up the wine glass on the table and said, "The little girl wishes the Empress Dowager a happy life and well-being."
The Empress Dowager nodded, picked up the glass and drank it all.
Yu Ziran looked at the Empress Dowager drinking the wine in the glass, raised the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly.
Changsun Han smiled and said, "It's good for my mother to taste it. This white sake is newly brewed this year, and it is made of the purest snow water on Tianshan Mountain with different medicinal herbs."
Wu drank it and nodded and said, "Yes, this white sake has always been the national wine of our northern country..."
Wu's face, which had been nodded and smiled, suddenly wrinkled. One hand stroked his neck, as if he was going to open his mouth and say something, but he couldn't speak. As soon as his body was crooked, he fell to the ground.
